German author and Nobel literature laureate Guenter Grass is urging the winner of this year’s Nobel, “reclusive” Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek, to get over her “social phobia” and go to Stockholm to pick up her prize, according to an Agence France Press wire story. But Jelinek, who became a recluse after her work was deemd “low” and “immoral” by Austrian right wingers, says she won’t attend the ceremony. She adds, “I cannot feel anything about winning the prize. I feel empty.” Meanwhile, an Associated Press wire story says Jelinek’s sales in the U.S. are “soaring.”
